Final answer:
The probability of drawing 4 or fewer red candies from a sample of 16 candies depends on the total number and proportion of red candies in the entire population, which is not provided in the question.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking about the probability of drawing a certain number of red candies from a random sample. Since no specific information is provided about the proportion of red candies to the total number of candies, the correct answer is d) Depends on the total number of candies. Without knowing the proportion of red candies in the overall population, we cannot calculate the probability.
In general, to calculate the probability of drawing a specific number of red candies, we would use the binomial probability formula or normal approximation, given that the probability of a candy being red remains constant with each draw. However, these methods require the known probability of drawing a red candy, which must be determined from the total composition of the candy population.
